   A pension fund pays out distributions from a managed pool of investments. Social Security pays out distributions from a pool of money taxed from people still pulling down paychecks. That's a ponzi scheme.

     >Broke millennials and zoomers being forced to pay tribute to boomers with multiple properties and million-dollar retirement accounts is a le good thing because the seventy gorillion brownoids the boomers imported to keep the scam going until they croak will definitely keep it running until you reach retirement age.

     That's exactly not how pensions work. Pensions are where a company or government saves or invests some portion of your earnings in order to pay it back later. It's a savings account for people who are too retarded to handle saving money (which is a lot of people).

     What inevitably happens though is that the pension fund is looted one way or another and the whole thing turns into a Ponzi scheme. The Boomers looted the SS pension fund (anyone remember Al Gore and his Lock Box?) and now there's no money in it so they're passing the payments of young people directly to the old people (Ponzi scheme).

     The special government securities come in two types: short-term certificates of indebtedness, which mature on the following June 30, and bonds with a term of one to 15 years. The short-term certificates and bonds issued to the Social Security trust funds are not traded in the bond market or available to the public. Like other Treasury securities, however, they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

     By the slightest amount of smoke and mirrors, to fool people who are completely economically illiterate.

     What even is punctuation?

     Everywhere else either A) doesn't loot their pension fund (I'm not aware of a place like this, but it's included for completeness), or B) is also a Ponzi scheme and will also collapse in due time, some sooner than others.

     All the socialized programs in Bongland have been looted to the point of non-functionality after a decade of rapefugee invasion.

     That merely accelerated the matter. Retirement ages are far too low, native fertility rate is below replacement (much less actively growing), and modern end-of-life let-me-spend-my-kids-inheritance-to-cling-on-to-three-more-miserable-years-of-nursing-home-existence medical costs are astronomical. From a financial perspective, the migrants probably only worsened the problem by a handful of years.
